My series "DON'T TELL MOM!"
Falcon Field's open house has become a bit of a tradition for my family with the heli ride as the highlight. This was the first year they flew the Schweitzer though and the doors-off was a bit of a surprise. Canyon State Aero is a GREAT bunch of people and really made the boys feel comfy!

Never seen anything like it. From clear to that in a span of about 15 minutes. Then when it finally broke and we were taxiing out we had to hold short for 15 minutes while a gaggle of about 1000 Pelicans migrating slowly down the active runway.

Bit the bullet and jumped into After Effects (solved the gross dust speck problem in my earlier video "Night Harbor")

Here's a little side by side comparison of the image stabilization you can do in After Effects. I'm told it uses the same engine that's available in Premiere, but analyzes more deeply and finds more reference points. You'll notice that it doesn't solve all the issues of dSLR video (there's still some "jelly" effect near the end on the pitch up) but it does remove the gross off center issues quite nicely.

Thanks Colin and Mark. Not sure exactly when I will get it scheduled, I have to have a certain code in order to schedule, so not sure when I'll get that. Once I do, I have to allow for a four hour window for taking the test, both a written and a skills test. Getting there slowly but surely.

Andy, I'll be there with the ISAP entourage on Wednesday afternoon and Friday. I assume Jan-Arie will be doing the same thing (J-A, did you book the pre-symposium trip?). Not sure how much freedom we'll have during those times, although I do hope to be able to escape for an hour to find a few non-ISAP friends :-)

Terrific work Glenn. I got to meet Justin last October when he was flying one of the API micro jets out of Gila Bend Air Force Auxillary Field during WTI. That has to be the smallest cockpit I've ever seen. I left that day thinking that Justin can fly just about anything with wings
